The Odyssey / O Brother Where Art Thou Movie Activities, Lyric Analysis, CCSS
The movie O Brother Where Art Thou is the perfect pairing to add fun and depth of learning to The Odyssey! These activities foster comparison skills as students analyze the similarities and differences between the two mediums. As a bonus, I've included two song-lyric analysis activities in which students apply Odysseus' travels to the lyrics from two different tunes that make an appearance, including "I Am A Man of Constant Sorrow"! I find this adds just a splash of extra fun! ♪INCLUDES: ★2 page
